Deicing Services in NJ

The deicing services we provide are a necessity for New Jersey residents and businesses, all of whom have to contend with cold and snowy winters annually. It is a proven method for avoiding snow and winter-related accidents.

Inclement weather such as blizzards disrupts travel and transport because of the snow and ice buildup, which can block parking lots, bridges and highways, creating hazardous scenarios. To counter this, we use both salt and liquids to get ice and snow under control, which greatly reduces the chances of injuries, accidents and the legal liability that arises from them.

We work with both roads and vehicles such as trains and aircraft. When applied to trains and their rail switches, the salt will quickly inhibit ice as it functions as a continuous heat source, and because trains use heaters for their brakes, couplers, and suspension, they stop the formation of ice. Aircraft must be deiced before takeoff, and rather than using salt, many experts prefer fluids that are glycol/water-based.

By requesting our deicing services, you’ll enjoy the following benefits:

The liquid will remain in place: Though salt is still one of the most popular methods for controlling ice, the downside is that it won’t remain where you originally put it. Instead, it will get picked up by vehicles, animals and people, who then carry it into commercial businesses and homes, where it will attach to stuff. When it gets on plants, this can actually disrupt their spring growth. By using liquid, the substance will remain in place.

Even distribution: When we spread liquid or salt on ice, it will be evenly distributed. This is because if some of the ice patches are missed, these are the areas where a person can slip, fall and hurt themselves. Every inch of the surface must be thoroughly covered.

Quick application: Speed is a necessity when you need to cover a large area such as parking lots or roads. Salt needs moisture to do its job most effectively, while liquid deicers operate much faster. Both materials can be rapidly spread on slick streets and surfaces, and sodium chloride in particular is very cost-effective.

Properly deicing roads, lots, aircraft and trains requires considerable skill and is a task that should never be left up to amateurs. This is reinforced by the fact that deicing materials must be used in a manner that doesn’t harm the environment. Mission LLC is well aware of the adverse effect that salt has on some plant species which is why we only use it in select situations and instead prefer using liquids. However, since chloride can create metallic corrosion, we also take this into account when planning projects.
